Chapter 19: Nine Little Oddities, Read Aloud
By dusk the square was so full that the lanterns had to be hung over people's heads.
The Chair sat behind a table of ferry crates with her notebook open.
Luoyi and Zhuyuan sat at the end of it, side by side.
In the front row, Elder Rong tapped her parasol on the stones and smiled at nobody.
Inspector Yu stood up with her leather book in both hands, pale for the first time since Luoyi had met her.
"One," she read. "A mooring post with a sawn notch, bandaged in linen, mended by morning."
"It now wears a gold ring. I touched it at noon, and the paint was wet."
She held up her thumb, gold to the knuckle, and a ripple of laughter ran over the square.
"Two. A Market Code of fourteen pages, with a clause against pears smaller than a thumb. Nine pears have been fined."
"Three. A saw behind a bridegroom's feet, which became a lantern."
She lifted the lopsided pearwood lantern from beside her chair.
"It is hideous," she said, with deep feeling. "Nobody has ever given me anything so hideous or so dear."
